Arm pain. Can anyone relate?

Sometimes (like today) I wake up with arm pain/ soreness. And even my hands feel very weak, like I can't even make a strong fist. I think it's because I clench my muscles when I sleep. Sometimes, when I wake up, I feel a relief from losening up my grip which makes me think I've had the muscles tight all night long. Sometimes, my jaw feels the same way. I don't grind my teeth, but I think I just keep them clenched as well and then wake up with soreness.

Right now, the pain / discomfort is above both my elbow. I feel like I don't have any kind of pressure in them so I squeeze them (if that makes sense).

Has anyone felt this? If so, what did you do to feel better?
 
Do you sleep on your side? Perhaps you are laying on your arm in such a way as to impeded the blood circulation somewhat...or perhaps laying on a muscle in a way that causes this pain.
